A fence 19 is rovi' e provided between 25 d, which coperates with a channe 2O carried by the lower ed e of the window, the fencebein convenienty formed in the' case of amet'al ody by turning up a flan e from the L'sheathing 21 on the exterior of tge body. The body. portion 22 immediately above the window 1s recessed in order to take the springs 23v which actuate the plungers 24.

The plungers 24 pass through the angular window stop 25 and are euch provided to engage the upper side of flan e The aembling of t is portion of m device i's a very simple matter, since it is on y neceslsary to place the springs in position in the recesses, lace-the 'lunger in position in the flange o theywin ow stop and then attach the window stop to the body portion by v screws, vor in any suitable manner.

When the plunger is shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the window may be moved up and down by means-of the-strap. en, however,-it is desired to 1ock.the window, the window is raised to its limit of upward movement and the plunger is bayonet slot in the position hinge el amp l29.A

Inasmuch as it window Stiles I prefer to use a channel shaped slide of uniform width y i, `in connection with a windowl pad oredge protector, see Fig. 8) which includes a kaddinr of 'felt or other suitable m teria 36, hel `in place by a cover 37, the 'W ole being vsecured"to-the vwindow by means of a metallic channelv 38.v The padding 36is sufiiciently soft to cushion the window against for holding thel window in thewindow frame whenthe latevident 4window frame engaging a holefin lthe is dillicult to form taperl window frame -lnto the recess.

the sides of the channel i'n any position, and at the same time to permit movement of the lower end of the window outward to enable the channel 20 to engage the fence 19. In order to hold the window in position securely, I may provide a pivoting point 39 about which the window swings when the channel 20 is being engaged with the fence 19. This pivoting point may take the form of a small spring or may evenv be merely a small piece of metal soldered in place..

When in place the window may be lowered into the recess 18 n the body portion, it being held in position by means lof the pull strap 28.-"

When it 1s desired to removethe window and window fra e, the window is raised to its upward limitfand fastened inplace by means' meansvof the plunger 32;*V The frame is then against the springs 23 by holding 'handle 27 with Aone hand and the stiles 12 with the other, until the projections 16 are released from the depressions in the body portion 17. The frame is then drawn inwardly and removed from the window opening and stored in a suitable storageA lace.
